HISTORY  *   HOME   *   HELPING  OTHERS

Founded in 1960, the Lake County Bar Foundation has been making a difference in our community for 55 years. Some examples of the efforts supported and funded by Your Foundation include:

Educating future lawyers through the Wayne Flanigan Scholarship at the University of Illinois School of Law;

Supporting our veterans through programs such as Great Lakes Adaptive Sports and the 19th Judicial Circuit Court Veterans History Project and Veterans Specialty Court;

Helping eligible lawyers with reasonable living expenses due to emergency, accident or illness;

Funding the 19th Judicial Circuit Drug Court, which helps non-violent offenders become productive members of society;

Inspiring future lawyers by supporting mock trial competitions for high school and college students;

Offering free legal assistance to grandparents and foster parents with guardianship proceedings.

The Lake County Bar Association was founded in 1912 with the mission to foster respect for the administration of law; to promote the science of jurisprudence; to encourage increased competency and knowledge of current laws, procedures and regulations through continuing legal education, to promote greater diversity among the bar, the judiciary and to enhance access to justice for the persons we serve and to uphold the honor and dignity of the legal profession.

Accommodating up to 90 people for continuing legal education classes, luncheons, receptions and even dinners; the Educational and Event Center will include a state-of-the-art audio/video display system. A full catering kitchen will support social functions. On the walls we will proudly display photos and artifacts from our 100-year history. This space will serve as the core of the Lake County Bar's educational as well as social community and will be in constant use ( 2nd Phase).

MEMBER LOUNGE

A destination for all members of the Lake County Bar Association. The private lounge will offer our members a place to share a cup of coffee to begin their day; a quiet yet connected workspace during the day; and when the work is done, a cozy fireplace and welcoming bar area will encourage members to meet, relax and feel a part of our community. The lounge can also be reconfigured to accommodate a class or meeting for up to 22 people with full a/v support.

BOARDROOM

The Lake County Bar Boardroom provides the ultimate environment for getting together to make important decisions. Perfect for board and committee meetings, client meetings/ depositions or private dining events. The Boardroom has a capacity of 16 and includes an electronic display board.
